| Fact | RMUX | TermStation |
|---|---|---|
| Integrations | The project documents a ratatui integration widget and a Claude Code teammate mode that runs Claude inside a local RMUX workspace. | Integrations use templates to configure CLI commands and arguments, and GitHub is enabled as a code forge by default. |
| License | RMUX is dual-licensed under MIT or Apache License 2.0. | The repository identifies the project as MIT licensed. |
| Limit | The Python and TypeScript SDKs require the RMUX binary to be installed first. | Session data accumulates and must be deleted manually until automatic cleanup is implemented. |
| Platforms | RMUX documents native support for Windows, macOS, and Linux; Windows uses ConPTY and named pipes, while macOS and Linux use Unix PTYs and Unix-domain sockets. | The README lists a browser frontend, Electron desktop apps for Windows, macOS, and Linux, and an Android mobile app. |
| Security | During Web Share, shells and PTYs stay on the local daemon while the browser decrypts encrypted terminal updates locally; tunnels carry encrypted frames. | The maker says authentication is supported but not hardened for untrusted networks, and advises against publicly exposing the frontend and backend. |

Pick RMUX if…
RMUX suits developers who want persistent local terminal sessions or programmatic control through an SDK. Its browser sharing and access roles may also suit people who need to share a pane or session with others.
Pick TermStation if…
TermStation may suit developers who want a self-hosted terminal session manager with templates, containers, and session sharing. It is better suited to controlled environments than publicly exposed services, given its stated security warning.
